Septra is a type of drug that is made with two different types of antibiotics. It is most commonly prescribed to patients that may have one of many different bacterial infections. These would include infections of the respiratory system, infections of the middle ear, urinary tract infections, and intestinal infections. In many cases it is also used to help in the prevention and the treatment for the pneumocystis type of pneumonia.

 In individuals who have acquired the common cold, and it has not been treated by a physician, it can become much worse and eventually turn into pneumonia. Because Septra is used for various types of bacterial infections, it will not work for the prevention or improvement of viral infections. If your family health care provider has given you a prescription of Septra, it is very important that you finish taking all of the medication that you were prescribed to take.

If this drug is stopped too soon, the infection can return and begin growing in your body’s system again. If you are suffering from these types of bacterial infections, it can be beneficial to speak with your doctor about Septra and other medicines that are used for these infections.
